serum-free media

Serum-free media are specially formulated liquids used to grow cells in laboratory settings without containing animal serum, such as fetal bovine serum. These media provide vital nutrients, vitamins, and growth factors that cells need to survive and multiply. Using serum-free media reduces variability and contamination risks associated with animal serum, making cell culture more controlled and suitable for research, pharmaceutical production, and clinical applications. They are designed to support various cell types while eliminating the unpredictability of serum components, ensuring more consistent and reliable experimental results.
